Excerpt from The Fascination of the Book
Illuminative Methods with the Word. One of the chapters, The Strength of the Pulpit, was given nearly in its present form as a Commencement Ad dress to the graduates of the Omaha Theological Seminary in May, 1906. Most of the suggestions offered here have been brought to the test of actual experience in church work. The author indulges a prayerful hope that these studies, the result of close attention in the pastorate and in the college class room, may contribute something to the growth of interest in the Book.

Excerpt from The Fascination of the Book
The author of this volume has sometimes thought that he would be glad to devote the remainder of his ministry to the simple task of helping men to see that the Bible is interesting Book. He is aware that to some this might seem an insignificant task, while to others it might appear unduly ambitious, if not presumptuous. To himself it seems not unworthy and not without the insistence of pressing need.
The hour is apparently at hand when the church, with its affiliated organizations, is prepared to recognize that the problem that overtops every other is the problem of bringing the Word of God to the world, and bringing the world to the Word of God. To say this is not to forget the emphasis that has been rightfully laid in this generation upon Christian activity; but the very energy of this generation upon Christian activity; but the very energy of this activity has reveled anew the necessity for close contact with the Scripture. Teaching and preaching, two functions that condition the very life of the church, must receive attention all the more because of the intellectual and spiritual vigor of the age. Despite the brilliancy of the modern pulpit, and the strength and resource of modern methods of biblical teaching, the conviction slowly dawns upon many that the church is not abreast of the educational spirit of the times.
